days of Rome, when the position of

to the Germans, of whom Tacitus said,
q" In all grave matters they consult
their women," and who presented the
Fraulein of that day, as a customary
wedding present, the gift of horse,
bride and spear, as emblems of her
equality; to the ancient Britons, also,
whose holy priestesses were looked up
on with the greatest reverence, and
whose queen, Boadicea, led their hosts
to battle; to those days when it was
not regarded as startling innovation
and unwarranted proceeding for wo-
men to exercise voice in the govern

power with kings, and indeed, often
more authority, as Cleopatra WAS more

The HOt-W ater Remedy.

The London Lancet contains an ex-
haustive article on the " Therapeutical
Drinking of Hot Water; Its Origin
and its Use" The article is written by
Dr.. Ephraim Cutter, an eminent
physician of New York City, and con-
tains some statements and suggestions
which, to say the least, are certainly
worthy of attention. DIR. Cutter says
that the first use made of hot water
as a medicine, or health regulator"
was made by DR.. James III. Salisbury
of New York, who by series of expert
ments on men and various animals,
demonstrated its efficacy. In hisarti-
Gle DIR. Cutter gives directions for the
proper use of hot water. In the first
place, it must be hot. j. e., nor less than
ITO deg. nor more than $50 deg. Fab
renheit. This excites proper action
of the digestive organs. Cold water
depresses and lukewarm water causes
venting. For diarrhoea the hotter the
b,tter. For hemorrhages it should be
at blood heat. The quantity of hot
water drank varies from one-half pint
to a pint and one-half, according to
the condition of the patient and the
disease treated. The hot water should
be taken one or two hours before each
meal, and half All hour before retiring.
This gives the water time to operate
before food enters the stomach or
sleep comes. The water should be
slipped slowly, and the swallowing of
half pint should take half an hour.
1t takes six months to wash the liver
and intestines thoroughly. If the hot
water seems fiat" flavorings, such as
lemon, sage or ginger, may be added.
The effects of drinking are noticed in
the improved feelings of the patient.
The urine becomes clear as crystal,
and perspiration is free. The digestion
improves, thirst disappears, and there
is no longer a craving for liquor.
Taken as a whole, from DR.. Cutters
estimate, the hot water treatment is
the most complete remedy yet dis
covered for all the evils flesh is heir

taken Of me, q little robber or a
j little vagahond." His surround
ings in early life were calculated to
obliterate every noble trait of his
character.
1t is said of Stanley, the African
Explorer, that his childhood was
even more unpromising than that
of Dickens. The want of the fam.
lily was we'll known, and the dis
tress through which the boy passed
was most humiliating and depress-
ing.
Kepler, the astronomer, had an
experience until he was eighteen
years old that was calculated to
keep him in a lowly position all the
days of his life. He had several at
tacks Of sickness, was subjeeted to
many cruelties in a beer saloon
where he was employed, and had to
work hard as ploughboy on farm.
The distinguished Thurlow Weed
had to go to work when he was
eight years of age. Now heis blow

six cents day, now he is employed
about tavern, now he is cabin boy

Office cutting the wood and keeping
up the fires.
Many are made unpromising by
their dispositions. Montgomery,
the poet, tells us that he was dis
tinguished in childhood "for indo-
lence and melancholy"
Washington Irving was two years
at school, and learned, we are told,
scarcely anything but the alphabet.
Oliver Goldsmith's first teacher
confessed that he was one of the
dullest boys she had ever dealt with,
insomuch that she had sometimes
doubted whether it was possible to
make anything of him."
1t is said of Joseph Henry, that |
at the age of fourteen he showed no
aptitude for learning. lie was fond |
of fiction and had become fascinated |
with the theatre.
Bunyan was sent to school when |
child, but we are told, "that he
quickly forgot all he learned through |
his extreme profigacy."
Doyle says of Patrick Henry /
"Seldom had boyhood promised
less for the future man. Utterly
averse to books, he loved idleness
for its own sake and ran wild in the
forest like one of the aborigines of
the wood, dividing his life between
the dissipation and uproar of the
chase and the languor of inaction. /"
